TRAVAILS OF A MANAGER

As nearly everyone knows, a Manager has particularly nothing to do except :

To decide what is to be done

To tell somebody to do it

To listen to reasons

To decide as to who should do it (the most ticklish part of the business)

To follow up to see if the thing has been done

To discover it has not been done The Ancient Manager!!

To enquire why

To listen to excuses

To entrust it to someone else

To discover that it has been done incorrectly

To point out how it should have been done

To find it to be of no avail

To conclude that as long as it has been done,
it may as well as be left alone.

To wonder if it is not the right time to get rid of the people who cannot do a thing right.

To reflect that each probably has a family and that, any successor would certainly be just as bad or may be worse!

To consider how much simpler and better

the thing would have been done

if one had done it oneself

in the first place!

To reflect sadly

That you could have done it right

in twenty minutes

what has taken

a couple of weeks

for somebody else

to do it wrong !
